- Synopsis
- For thousands of years the cruel North Wind ruled the land of North of Up North, chasing away the gentle, benevolent winds from the East, West, and South. The land of Michigane was covered with thick heavy ice and no one, man nor creature, could live in such a place. But thousands of years is a long time to go without a visitor so when a young boy from the South and an old man from the East venture into the land of Michigane, the North Wind just may be ready to relinquish his icy hold. Or maybe not. The purpose of their pilgrimage is to ask the North Wind to share his land's riches but what can they say or do to change his cold heart? It is only through the combined forces of the young boy's gentle goodness and the old man's wiles that the frozen land eventually comes to bountiful life. Storyteller Trinka Hakes Noble pays homage to her home state in this creative and inventive legend of the origin of the state of Michigan.
